About.

Founded in 2022 by interior architect, Olya Johnson and advertising creative, Natalie Vosloo, Relic’s eclectic curation of collectibles ranges from 20th-century art and objets to rarefied antiques. A digital destination for collectors new and established, each of Relic’s listings has been hand sourced at auction houses and emporiums across Europe, from capitals of design including Stockholm, Brussels, Paris and London. The result is an evolving, organic collection of storied pieces with great historic and cultural merit. 

From intricate Eastern art to tactile ceramics, and from Art Nouveau glassware to expressive post-war paintings, Relic’s broad reach demonstrates the nuances and beauty of design across countries, artistic movements and materials. Together, Olya and Natalie have developed a digital atelier for the conscious consumer; a collector who lives a life surrounded by objects of significance, and who appreciates the individuality that secondary market collectibles lend to contemporary life. 

Relic is a ‘collector’s digest’ from the discerning eyes of experienced creatives, established to provide a platform for beautiful vintage and antique pieces at diverse prices. First-time collectors can find meaningful purchases in affordable artworks and pieces of furniture, while seasoned aesthetes can browse exceptional, portfolio-enriching future heirlooms. Relic’s inclusive offering serves to democratise what it means to collect, guiding and encouraging budding epicureans while curating an enviable assortment of exceptional works in the decorative arts category. 

As a female founding duo, Johnson and Vosloo’s collaborative and inclusive approach to the vintage and antiques industry prioritises collecting calibre, fair price points and a highly editorial digital browsing experience. Their shared experience in the world of design, the arts and culture has informed not only the kind of objects they want to sell, but also who they want to sell to and how. The breadth of interest, accessibility and aesthetic defines the Relic offering, curated through the keen design ‘eye’ of its creators.
